    Summary

    After saving Jazz from the collapsing tunnel, Orion Pax had promptly passed out. When he woke back up, though, something was different. Something about him had changed. Something had changed the way he looked at his best friend.

    And it broke D-16's spark to think about it.

    Optimus Prime woke up as Orion Pax again, and though he panics at first, he realizes the opportunity at hand to fix where things went wrong. He wants to save D-16 from becoming Megatron and prevent the war that destroyed Cybertron. He would set things right this time, and he wouldn’t lose anyone else.

    If only he would stop seeing those red optics on his best friend’s face.

    Summary

    Simon and Grace made it up and out of the blood ocean and into the hands of the COI.

    Lets see how far they can go beyond the original pages of the story.

    (A continuation of "virtual insanity", where Ryland Grace with fresh amnesia is plopped into the SM-13 and has to survive with our local doomed convict, Simon. Now, they're part of the COI and must deal with the fallout of that survival)

    Summary

    “I, um--" Ryland tugs on the sleeve of his cardigan. "--might have told Tom Ryder we were dating?”

    Simon blinks slowly.

    “Why?” He asks.

    --

    or, that fake dating au nobody but me asked for

    Summary

    Ryland looked down at his clipboard, where he had written a reasonable script, supplied earlier that day by Adrian. Unfortunately, the moment his eyes landed on the words, his brain supplied only terrible ways to say them.

    He chose the worst one.

    “I need flowers with prominent reproductive structures.”

    The man went completely still.

    Ryland could feel his soul attempting to leave his body.

    “For a plant anatomy lab,” he added quickly. “For my students. Middle school students. Not–” He cut himself off, because there was simply no end to that sentence that would improve his situation. Instead, he just weakly smiled, and added “Science.”

    -:-:-

    Ryland Grace is brilliant with biology, awkward with adults, and far too invested in giving his students the lessons they deserve. Simon Fleischer is a guarded florist who trusts plants more than people and has no interest in being needed by anyone again. But when a forgotten school lab brings Ryland into Root & Thorn, their lives begin to tangle in quiet, unexpected ways – through flowers, roots, and the terrifying possibility of being cared for properly.

    Summary

    Simon just irradiated 3 people and got dropped back into the blood ocean. He'd love to wallow in his mistakes, but there's something shifting just behind the wall...

    Ryland Grace does not know that "Ryland Grace" is his name, nor does he know where he is or who the hell this scrappy man is next to him.

    (Freshly amnesia-d Grace appears in the SM-13, and now they BOTH have to deal with it)

    Between Grace's scant first aid and the nanny bot they managed to get the man mostly stable, tucked into Grace's bed and completely dead to the world for the past few days.

    It's the same man currently trying to kill him.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace survived the Hail Mary mission. Simon survived the Iron Lung. Neither of them are particularly happy about it.

    When Rocky and Adrian discover an artificial signal that has been broadcasting for fourteen years, Ryland makes the one mistake he swore he never would again: he goes back to space.

    Unfortunately for everyone involved, the signal belongs to a deeply traumatized ex-convict.

    Summary

    Eva Stratt knew that the Hail Mary's mission would be tough. Human psyches are so very fragile, and emotions can make people act erratically.
    That was why she chose a fourth member of the Hail Mary crew. Someone who could make difficult decisions.

    Enter: Simon.

    Summary

    “I-I’m sorry…I ne….” He frog-blinked a few times, his grip on the scalpel loosening briefly, then tightening again.

    “ I nee…d…to go h-h-ome…” The man leaned in closer, and Simon almost couldn’t handle those eyes. “I donn’t wanna hurt… youuuoo but I’m sorry I…need to find…” His balance was off, as if he didn’t notice that he was missing a leg.

    Simon swallowed. “...Your arm is bleeding.”

    (Or: Simon and Adrian find a bloodied and traumatized molecular biologist floating in deep space.)

    Summary

    The details of the job are pretty vague, but in the end, Simon agrees. It's a chance. At freedom. Life. No matter how slim or ridiculous the thought is in a dying universe. He doesn't know what to expect, but he certainly isn't prepared to wake up months later on a small ship with a crew of people that leave him with more questions than answers.

    Summary

    “Earth spider animals are so beautiful and intelligent,” Teacher Grace said compassionately to Combustion-Fighter. A thrum of spider animals was going by on the street as it said this. “I wish there was a way I could talk to them and teach them about magnetism.”
    That was called ‘foreshadowing.’

    Three Eridian kids try and write a romance novel about their teacher.

    Holy shit yall this has EVERYTHING
    Eridian students do their darndest to write an epic space odyssey about their beloved Teacher Grace. I laughed, I nearly cried, I shook as I tried not to scream with delight as I read what could only be described as ‘entirely accurate fiction written by teenagers’

    They don’t understand humans, or science, or medical procedures. But goddamn did they have fun.

    Summary

    Ch.12 excerpt:

    "“Ah-mmmm I…” A rasping wet gulp of air, a whined note of pain to place a plosive consonant against a misaligned alveolar ridge. Grace could feel an empathetic echo ache on the left side of his own face, the thought of exposed gum and muscle forced to move, the cracking of newly formed scabs, enough to make him feel nauseous. Simon screwed his eye shut, “D- ehm-d?”

    It took a moment of gathering the sounds and rolling through them in his head, brain making comparisons and approximations when they weren’t good enough to work the noises into one coherent phrase. Ah-mmmm I d-ehm-d? Am I d-ehm-d? Am I deh-d?

    Am I dead?"

    -

    Still trying to save their respective planets, Grace and Rocky gain a new problem they need to solve: the body of impossible human being appearing in the Hail Mary's airlock. Things slowly get worse from there.

    Or: It's not enough to want to live. You have to make a choice.

    Summary

    Simon waited.

    Waited for them to apologize. Tell him there’s nothing they could do. That he wasn’t worth the trouble or resources, that he wasn’t worth the time.

    But that never came.

    Instead, after a second Grace came back on the line, his voice sounding determined now. “Alright,” he said. “Hang tight.”

    Simon blinked slowly. “What?”

    Summary

    Ryland doesn't know where he is, what he's doing, or why he's doing it. All he knows is that he's in a universe with no stars and that an organization called the COI found the Hail Mary spinning out into deep space. He knows that Rocky may be injured somewhere, and he knows that the man that currently lays in a hospital bed in front of him should be dead as dirt but has miraculously survived.

    He knows he has been given an ultimatum. Find out what brought Simon back to life or never see Rocky again.

    The task proves more complicated than he thought.

    This is a continuation of "The People We Meet at the End of the World", which you may need to read first for context.)

    Summary

    Whatever happened here was bad. Irrevocably, inexplicably, inarticulably bad in a way that the most basal parts of his being wants nothing more than to escape from. But Grace can't turn away.

    After encountering what appears to be a last hoo-ra emergency mission attempt from Earth caught up in the Hail Mary's wake, Grace and Rocky discover a single, severely injured human being quite literally encased in what Grace can only describe as a crime scene. A horror movie. And when he wakes up? He's mad. Really mad. Talking to the walls mad. Now they have to figure out just where he came from and why. Things are further complicated when all the newcomer (Simon, they learn) can talk about is missing planets, haunted oceans, and non-existent space stations. That and the really weird data they've been picking up on.
    Maybe part of solving that is, much to Rocky's enthusiasm; both Grace and Simon slowly realizing how lonely they are.

    'Before Jack can make any further moves, the sub begins to shake. A dreadful, familiar, grinding crunch of metal fills the air as the hangar doors open and the chains suspending the SM-13 above that roiling bloody sea begin to lower.

    They’re going down. Jack is going down.'
